Hurricane Irene

Hello To The Free World

And To The Not So Free World

Hurricane Irene

Coming from New York City. I was so scared about the damage Hurricane Irene was going to do to the city. I was so scared of how Hurricane Irene may hurt my friends and family members.Thank the lord that none of my family members nor friends were hurt, but it was a scary moment because this was the second major catastrophe that affected New York City in 2011 the city experience  a major Earthquake.The first 5.6 Earthquake that The East Coast had felt since the late 1880's. THAT IS SOMETHING!

Does all of this means once again that the world is coming the an end? For New York City to get a 5.6 earthquake and then a hurricane was just incredible.What is going on? I wonder if the hurricane and the earthquake on the east coast has something to do with the continuing damage that we as people are doing to the Earth. I think that this should be an example for me and other citizens of the world  to try and be a lot more careful about the items we use and how we dispose of them. We must learn to be a more eco-friendly world.Think about recycling and other ways to protect the earth.

Does It Pay To Attend College in The United States.

Does It Pay To Attend College In The United States.

Recently I had a friend tell me that more people from foreign countries .Students from foreign countries who want to attend American Universities.Because American students can't afford the ever growing American University prices.it is really evident because this summer at my school and I am not going to say the name

for my own privacy and safety I will not say my school name to avoid the stalkers but the university apartments where I live, there are many Asian students, and there is nothing wrong with that.

These students are from China and Korea, plus there are a small number of students from Germany and Italy

and when I saw this I was really stunned and all of these foreign students were able to get housing here at my complex.One thing I know for sure is that the complex is not empty as it was last June.Because many
American students could not afford summer courses,which are very expensive at this school

American students do not want to attend college because some do not have the money and they feel that it is unfair to pay high tuition costs.Then there are those who feel that they will have difficulty paying back students loans and if  they can't pay back  student loans they will be in serious, serious trouble.They will be in trouble because they can't get a job to pay the loans back.

In all many Americans feel that COLLEGE IS SCAM LIKE THIS VIDEO!

I feel that COLLEGE IS WORTH IT! But for some the big question is, how do we pay for college?In The United States today. If you do not have a college education you can't get a good paying job these days A Masters degree is now something which is needed to get a decent salary.So I know American college student's are frustrated and scared.They are scared of not having a way to pay back student loans, LIKE ME I AM IN THAT BOAT! But to me it is  a risk worth taking and you need a Bachelors Degree to get a decent paying job.So what type of job you are going to get without one

Ron Artest And Sports Strangest Name Change

Hello To The Free World

And To The Not So Free World

Ron Artest And Sports Strangest Name Change

I do not like to say this about people, but what is with this guy? Let me jump right into it .Ron Artest of The Los Angeles Lakers wants to legally changing his name

Ron Artest wants to be known as

Metta World Peace

WHY RON?

WHY RON?

WHY RON?

I always found Ron Artest to be an interesting man. I still believe that he has tried to be the modern day Dennis Rodman and he does not even come close to being like Dennis Rodman. Ron Artest wants to be famous and outragous as Dennis was ,I mean he is almost doing the same things as Rodman such as

FIGHTING 

TATOOS

FIGHTING

GETTING ALOT OF REBOUNDS

FIGHTING

Ron Artest is a great defensive player and he has been honored for his contributions to the community. Artest plays tough and sometimes real ugly. Rodman played the same, but a little better.

.

But now Artest's toughest play of his career is changing his name. Ron Artest is legally changing his name and  he would not be the first  NBA player to change his name ,but Ron Artest's reasons and pick of  the name makes no sense. Metta is supposed to be a Buddhism term relating to peace. But what I am trying to understand is why is he doing this?

Does he want peace?
Is he looking for personal peace?
Is it for publicity?

Is if for inner spiritual peace?

What are his reasons?

In my opinion it is all about publicity It is another situation like the former Chad Johnson ,NFL player Chad Johnson legally changed his name to Chad Ochocinco. Ochocinco is Spanish for 8 and 5 and he wears the number 85 .Kareem Abdul Jabar used to be known as Lou Alcindor. He changed his name for a Muslim and civic rights reason.

The last NBA player to have a name with the world World in it was former NBA great World B. Free.The former Lloyd  B.Free got his name from a teammate who gave him the name because has two great abilities which were a 44 inch vertical leap and  he did  great 360 degree slam dunks. His 360 degree slam dunks made him rotate like the world. So, I can understand this name change and this name change sounded great plus it made sense.

Sports reporters are wondering what will Ron Artest put on the back of his jersey

Will it be just PEACE?

Will it be just WORLD?

Or will it be WORLD PEACE?

Maybe it will be CRAZY MAN!.

To me there is nothing wrong with a man or a woman changing their name.If you change your name there must be significant reasons to the name change. You must have an intelligent and strong meaning behind the name change. But for Ron Artest a man who has been the most unpredictable NBA  player I have ever seen

I just do not understand the reason for the name change and I just think it is a dumb idea.

BUT GO LAKERS!

Have A Good Night Everyone

McCain And The Immigrants

Hello To The Free World

And To The Not So Free World

McCain And The Immigrants

You know I give John McCain all of the respect in the world .I give him all respect for trying to crack down on illegal immigration. I give credit for him cracking down on illegals crossing the border in his state of Arizona

But would John McCain  blame illegal immigrants for the cause of The Arizona fires and he did.

John McCain was given data stating the causes of the fire were due to illegal immigrants starting fires to keep warm and for theme to signal other illegal immigrants. All of this so called information came from McCain's communications director. A forest official on CNN stated that the fires were probably caused by an "escaped campfire."And this forest official  felt that there was no need to blame illegal immigrants.

So the big question is why would John McCain make such statements? The funniest part of it all is that he does not understand how offensive his statements are. He does not understand what all of the commotion is all about. Well Senator McCain your comments sound pretty racist. It is bad enough that Arizona has the new immigration rule, the rule where those who look like an illegal immigrant has to be checked by police.Now you are going to blame illegal immigrants for the cause of this horrible wild fire One of Arizona's worst wild fires ever.

What is next when it comes to cracking down illegal immigration in Arizona? What will illegal immigrants be blamed for next. If the Arizona Diamond Backs lose the 2011 World Series,will it be the fault of illegal immigrants? Will the Arizona Diamond Backs lose The World Series because most of the illegal immigrants for the Phoenix Suns for the bad seasons they have had.Will McCain blame illegal immigrants for issues with the Republic party? Will he hate them for liking President Obama too much?  Is old age really getting to John McCain?

In my view and I do not where and how did John McCain's communications director get such ridiculous information. But to me it is just another attack and excuse ,excuse to crack down on illegal immigrants and to come down on those who may appear to be a so called illegal immigrants in Arizona.

So to me I felt this immigration wild fire issue was a completely racist thing John McCain did
I understand that immigrants coming to The United States illegally is JUST WRONG, but if we are going to handle illegal immigration we should do it in a stern manner, but not a manner where it is
RACIST
PHYSICALLY HARMFUL
MENTALLY HARMFUL.

Illegal immigrants who cross the borders of  The United Stares should be treated fairly according to the law of The United States and these laws should not be abused.

They should be treated by laws which  do not discriminate against them
Laws which gives them a fair chance.
A fair chance of illegal immigrants pleading their case.

Good Night Everyone

Lady Gaga Invades Tennis

Hello To The Free World 

And Hello To The Not So Free World

Lady Gaga Invades Tennis

I am a still huge Madonna fan and I still think Madonna is still The Queen of pop music.But if anyone is the heir to the throne it is Lady Gaga. I just love the boldness of Lady Gaga. The women is in another world most people are not in.

Listen to her music.........INTERESTING

Look at her videos.........STRANGE & INTERESTING

When it comes to her clothes.....VERY STRANGE AND INTERESTING

Her whole ensemble is quite unique and many people like it.I just never thought that Lady Gaga's style would hit be an influence tennis. Listen to this story.

Bethany Mattek-Sands decided to attended The 2011Wimbledon Party wearing something different.The 30 ranked  female tennis player in The Wimbledon Rankings,who has surpassed Venus Williams in the Wimbledon rankings is also giving Serena Williams on run for her money when it comes to exotic tennis fashion.

Bethany was heavily influenced to wear a Nick Noble dress

Nick Noble designs the...VERY STRANGE & INTERESTING OUTFITS OF LADY GAGA

One thing I can say about this outfit is that it made sense where Lady Gaga outfits usually do not

The 26 year old is a tennis player, so what does she do, she has a dress made out of tennis balls.

Let me tell you this dress was something.I really loved the neon green and yellow of the dress
But the cool thing about  the dress was it had a corsett with nothing but tennis balls. And a headset with feathers and a tennis balls on top.This dress was something and it made sense, a tennis player with a tennis dress.

.

Unlike Lady Gaga who is a pop singer who wore a Kermit The Frog dress and Lady Gaga is not puppet nor a frog. Also she wore a dress that looked liked actual pieces of meat.

IS SHE SAYING SHE IS A PIECE OF MEET...UUUMMMM.
How do these dresses define what it means to be a pop star?I do not know.

I am a big Venus and Serena Williams fan, So I am hoping they one of them will win Wimbledon
I am being honest! So let just see if all of this hype and energy that was put into that tennis dress
Will be transferred into Bethany Mattek-Sands' game at Wimbledon .

Good luck Bethany!
Good luck at Wimbledon!
And I am looking forward to seeing more of you wearing other Nick Noble dresses.

Have A Good Night

The New Fat Boys

The New Fat Boys 

Hello To The  Free World

And To The Not So Free World

The United States is facing a MAJOR, MAJOR, MAJOR problem of child obesity. Probably the sad thing about child obesity is many schools in The United States are taking away health and fitness programs. But do you know what is the real thing that is preventing kids from excercsing?  
The answer is VIDEO GAMES.

Playstation 1,2,3,
 X-Box,  
Nintendo WII 
Online games like the very time consuming and addicting "World of Warcraft". These games are one of the reasons why kids have become obese. Kids do not want to go outside and play any more, they want to stay inside and any enjoy the brand new cool graphics of video games.  Plus, if you add on the social media sites such as Face Book and MySpace, it is more enticing to stay in  the house and communicate with friends. You  do not even have to communicate with your friend face to face, you can do it through a computer monitor, computer screen or cell phone screen. New technology has made it so convenient now that you do not have to move from your room to have a good time.

I am someone who truly loves some of the new technology tools, but now some of these technological tools are consuming the lives of kids. They are barely using energy at all  and  you can't you use much energy if you are couped up in a room for hours playing games and chatting with your friends on Facebook. Since I am bringing up Facebook, I am very social person. I love to actually approach new people and to interact with them. To me there is nothing more fun than having a great conversation with someone face to face, especially a woman. But that is another topic. Do not get me wrong, I do feel that social media tools such as Facebook and MySpace are great tools when it comes to promoting services of business, in this way it has great value

So for me Facebook and other social media sites are taking away from the days of face to face conversation and actually building real friends. On Facebook, you have 100 friends and half of them are not really your actual friends.

But on the real, something has got to be done to get kids to be more physically active. I do not mean physically active by playing, NINTENDO WII SPORTS ACTION GESTURE GAMES . I means kids taking at least 3 times a day to work out at a gym, park or area that has some type of equipment. Kids need to take more  time to cut back on junk food and eat more fruits and vegetables and drink more water instead of alot of sodas.  I NEED TO DO THIS ALSO.

I am not to going to put blame on the parents, I want to put the blame on school administrations in The United States who are cutting fitness programs and who are allowing school lunch rooms in this country to serve  kids pizza,hamburgers,tacos and other forms of junk food. There are many fast food chains that make money from giving schools their junk food. So I am really putting the blame on school administrations.  Something has to be done to save the health of kids.

Is Jesus Coming Back?

Hello To The Free World & The Not So Free World

Here is the big question, Is Jesus Coming Back? Will Jesus come back to take his claim as lord of the world and to rid the world of sin as it is proclaimed in the Bible. Will there be The Armagedon, the end of the world? I do not mean to scare people but what is going on with rhe world. A few months ago there was the major Earthquake in Japan that physically wrecked the country and emotional wrecked the citizens there who have never been a part of such a terrible Earthquake. Now you are having floods and tornadoes which are destroying areas in the mid west region of The United States. Now for the first time in 50 years,
Lorca, Spain had a major Earthquake.

I mean if you add up the list of major natural disasters in the last 5-6 years, it has been something, Hurricane Katrina, The Hurricane in Haiti, The GP Oil Spill, these are just to name a few. So I ask again what is going on? Are these signs for what is supposed to be "The Coming of Jesus." the end of the world? Hollywood says that the end of the world be in 2012, I hope not for the sake of the world, plus that is when I turn 35. So I would like to have a fun birthday. These natural disasters have quietly calmed down the  talk about thecapture of Osama Bin Laiden.

I just have never seen so much natural disasters occur successively at this rate in my life. I just thought that I would not see the powerful Japan have a major quake and to see the people be so vulnerable. I know that Japan has always given off the impression where everyone is strong willed and tough, but the fact of the matter is they are human beings firs.t So, it does not matter who you are in this world, an Earthquake that measures 7.1 is very tough for people to handle. The sad part is that last month Japan had another earthquake. I mean how much can people take.

Even though I have been living in California for 3 years, I am not really kept up to date on what is going on in the North East region of The United States where I used to live, and recently I was told about floods and terrible storms in The North East. Back in my old home town of New York City, a gentleman I met out here in California who is from Bronx, NY told me that New York had one of it worst winter seasons ever.

So are all of signs of the "Second Coming of Jesus?" Is the world coming to an end soon and how will it happen?  Will there be continuous natural disasters in the world, month after month? Is there something we can do as a people to better our world as Al Gore suggested that we do or is all of this God's will. If it is God's will then it is God's will. There is supposed to be something great that comes out of all of this. But all is this is really scary.
